Someone in the crowd at our record label's launch party last month got this video of us. This was a great show, we headlined in front of 200 people! We ended up selling something like $110 worth of merch that night!

That was a raucous number - loud and proud...  ;)

We have enough T'bird players here so some more home-grown material would be a nice inclusion...

Nice!  I notice that Cornick's bass line differs from what was finally recorded.

I'm off for a week and caught up with some material I'd recorded off the sat and they had shown a Lerner film of them at the Isle of Wight festival in '70 - some one had posted it so I thought I'd put it up... there's quite a bit of their material knocking about...

Do RDs count? Voilà, Germany's early eighties answer to Toto:

The black cat bass player - Ken Taylor - went on to become one of Germany's most demanded session and touring bass players.

Nearly, but do they fit into the "fat-bottomed" video thread more neatly...?

Now there's a thought... how about Explorers... ;)

Visually, an RD is close to a Firebird with its off-set body (and was most likely intended to look that way), but the wood components of course indicate the Ripper family ...

Your the Master when it comes to such things - official decision required...

RD or not RD, that is the question... ;D

And here we are..........

From 07/14/2012 @ Tacoma, Wa. Pride.
Our first show ever in Tacoma. we had a great time the event organizers took good of us, providing roadies, food, drink a nice big stage and a first rate sound crew. It turned out that their lead man is a big fan and was excited to see us play, we have about 600 peeps and it was truly a day to remember!
It was 80 degrees out which left me gassed after a 45 min. set but it was well worth it, we took home a cool 1k and memories for a lifetime - I love my band!

 Outdoor show bit early in the night but already some folks have drank their fill. The band sounds good though :)

Ah, Marilyn, always a wholesome sight, as American as apple pie. New album ain't bad either. I know it's Disneyland for goths, but I have a soft spot for him. "Ze bjootyfill peeple, ze bjootyfill peeple ...". Good old-fashioned fun.

I'll give the little Ohio geek credit for knowing how to market and sell what he does.  I still remember little Brian Warner on American Bandstand with hi Britney Spears lunchbox.
I know that the studio version of "Beautiful People" was done on a Les Paul bass.  Of all things, that fact came out on the cable show, Cribs, when Dave Navarro showed the bass hanging on his wall.
